Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

     On March 4, 2008, Epstein, Weber & Conover, PLC (“Epstein”), the independent registered public accounting firm of Arizona Land Income Corporation (the “Company”), notified the Company that it resigned from the client-auditor relationship with the Company effective as of that date.

     The reports of Epstein with respect to the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 contain no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the period from December 31, 2007 through the date of Epstein’s resignation, there were no disagreements between the Company and Epstein on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Epstein, would have caused Epstein to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report on the Company’s financial statements for such year. Further, no reportable events as set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(iv)(B) through (E) of Regulation S-B have occurred.

     The Company has provided Epstein with a copy of the disclosures in this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission and has requested that Epstein furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether Epstein agrees with the above statements and if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of the Epstein letter, dated March 7, 2008, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

     Epstein’s resignation was received in advance of the pending closing of transactions contemplated by the Company’s previously announced agreement. On the terms and subject to conditions set forth in the agreement, the Company will, among other things, acquire through a newly formed umbrella partnership ownership interests in up to nine office properties, which comprise approximately 2.4 million square feet of office space, from an affiliate of The Shidler Group and will reincorporate in Maryland under the name Pacific Office Properties Trust, Inc. It is expected that a new independent auditor of the Company will be selected shortly after the contemplated transactions are consummated. The Company will file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC promptly following the engagement of a new independent registration public accounting firm.
